Sip and Learn: Houseplant 101 at Cobblehaus at the Falls
Not far from Mercer, Cobblehaus at the Falls is hosting a relaxed evening of greenery and good conversation in collaboration with Wander and Root. During Houseplant 101, you’ll choose a plant, decorate a pot, and learn how to care for your leafy new companion—all while enjoying your first beer on the house.
The setting at Cobblehaus, with its rustic charm and locally brewed selections, makes it a great place to unwind. It’s a casual event with a social atmosphere that pairs well with a weekend getaway or a Sunday drive through Western Pennsylvania.

The class takes place at the same scenic brewery mentioned above, so it’s also a chance to enjoy local craft beer and the warm community atmosphere that makes small-town Pennsylvania so memorable.
